Question

A bolt of diameter \(16\,\mathrm{mm}\) carries a shear force of \(40.2\,\mathrm{kN}\) in single shear. Shear stress in the bolt is

• A. \(150\,\mathrm{MPa}\)
• B. \(175\,\mathrm{MPa}\)
• C. \(200\,\mathrm{MPa}\)
• D. \(225\,\mathrm{MPa}\)

Hint:

For a bolt in single shear, \[ \boxed{ \tau=\frac{P}{\frac{\pi d^2}{4}}. } \]
